    Posted: May/16/2004 at 00:07

Been trolling the postings trying to determine a scope for my Bushy Varminter. Rifle is for target work mostly, range 200 - 400 yards.

 

Here is what I was thinking and would like to hear feedback.

 

Burris 4.5-14X42 Fullfield II Ballistic-Plex 

New version of Springfield 4 - 16 with range finding ret. (If/when available) - Question about qualitity but with 223 not much recoil?

Leupold 4.5-14X40 VX-III Varminter ret.

Super Sniper 10X - based upon reading this site, good comments, but fixed power?

 

Thanks in advance

I would hold out for one of the caliber specific SpringField scopes.  Neat reticle and lots of fun to shoot plus its illuminated.  4-16  is also a very versatile power range and the 42mm objective will mount down low on your AR.

 

Springfield Armory 4-16x42 Illuminated .223 reticle.....$449.95

Hey man, the Varminter is a great gun, i have one myself and i couldnt be happier.  I shoot 55gr fmj and consistently shoot 1'' to 3/4, when i use my friends hand loads, i can shoot 1/2'' and below.  The gun is sweet man, let us know what you decided to use for your optics, i used a tasco 10-40-50, i'm 17 and on a budget so that has to do for now, i'm looking into the SS 10-42 for a Remington PSS .308, but i still have a whole lot to learn about the SS.  Anyways, shout outs to the bushy owners!!!
